The program targets immigrants who are interested in coming to and staying in Nova Scotia. There is also a strong focus on those interested in rural areas. Traditionally 90 per cent of Nova Scotia’s immigration has centered around the metropolitan Halifax core. The Nominee Program gives Nova Scotia the ability to have accelerated processing for up to 200 immigrants per year for the life of the agreement. This agreement is outside the traditional immigration categories that are in place with Immigration Canada; of course the targeted level can be exceeded upon mutual consent of both parties to the agreement. There are a number of other provinces across Canada that have a Nominee Program agreement with the federal government and each province has a unique skill and/or economic focus to its agreement. For Nova Scotia, the immigrants are nominated because they provide economic benefit to the province on an industrial and economic basis, and/or because they address labour market needs in the province. Nova Scotia is the first province to have a francophone component in its agreement. The province is making every effort to choose people who will remain in Nova Scotia and not just stay here long enough to relocate to larger urban centres. 3 Standing Committee on Economic Development Annual Report 2003-2004 Once an immigrant has landed in Canada, however, they are then protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and are able to live wherever they choose. This means that if Nova Scotia issues a certificate for a nominee, they may choose not to settle in Nova Scotia after all. MATTERS OF DISCUSSION Although there were a number of issues discussed throughout the meeting, outlined below are a few of the key issues. Employment & Economic Focus — The Nova Scotia Nominee Program considers candidates with management expertise and those who work in fields where skill shortages exist. There has to be a guaranteed job offer for the nominee. A person is nominated when a skills gap exists in a particular community, business or industry and there is no Nova Scotian to do the job. — Under the Skills Nominee Program, employers can hire any person with the necessary skills and job qualifications that they require. Employers go to the Metropolitan Immigrant Settlement Association (MISA) and the Office of Economic Development looking to hire people with specific job skills when other Nova Scotians do not have what that particular employer needs. However, employers must show that they did indeed try to obtain Nova Scotia and/or Canadian content first. Most of the skills shortages are from a professional area or areas with highly specialized skills, i.e., medical, engineering, etc. There has not yet been any interest from the skilled trade area. — The Office of Economic Development continues to work with the stakeholders to promote and create awareness of the program and its potential to the economy. The OED also co-chairs a committee on immigration with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The committee has a number of joint initiatives underway, including the development of a pilot program for foreign students. — A joint ministerial initiative led by colleagues in the Department of Education has begun to prepare a comprehensive immigration strategy for the province. This strategy will look at various aspects of immigration. Some adjustments are expected to take place within the Nominee Program to align it with the emerging provincial strategy. As well, the province has supported a variety of immigration work with non-government partners, including the New Beginnings Program with MISA and the publication “Everything Ventured Something Gained”. 4 Standing Committee on Economic Development Annual Report 2003-2004 — Under MISA there are two immigration programs; one, the Labour Market Attachment Program, an employment counselling and placement program, which receives support from the Department of Education. Two, the Immigrant Entrepreneur Orientation Program which receives support from ACOA and the Office of Economic Development. Goals and Opportunities — The Provincial Nominee Program should support broader goals for the province. In terms of maximizing success, the program should ensure flexibility, involve stakeholders, be open and transparent and include integration and retention. In terms of flexibility, one of the main focuses should be a rural focus and a francophone focus; however, it should include Halifax Regional Municipality in the definition and criteria because the majority of the immigrants do come to the HRM area. The program should be employer-driven. One of the things strongly recommended by MISA is to ensure a working relationship with existing local immigrant communities. All of the research and the data suggests that people want to come to a place where they already know somebody. The selection process should be open and transparent. There is an opportunity to look at different mechanisms for how to process the applicants in a way that can increase the amount of resources that the province has to support other programs and the Provincial Nominee Program. Ongoing evaluation and modifications need to be continually tailored and adjusted. — Attention to services to keep immigrants in the province was one of the factors in creating this “Welcoming Communities” initiative. An example of this is the Colchester Regional Development Authority (CoRDA) initiative called “ Building a Welcoming Community” . CoRDA has developed a 3-year proposal in an attempt to recruit immigrants to the community directly. They have developed a newcomers guide, added a multicultural component to their spring tulip festival and made contacts with local employers to develop what they need in terms of job skills. — In relation

  • Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
    Honourable Ron Chisholm Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture P.O. Box 2223 Halifax, NS B3J 3C4 January 9th, 2009 Dear Minister Chisholm, In June 2008, your Government announced its commitment to develop a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy by 2010. We commend the government for taking on this significant initiative. We would like to be formally involved, in a consultative capacity, in the development of the Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy. We are requesting a meeting to discuss mechanisms whereby our input can be formally included in the process. The undersigned organizations support the development and implementation of a Sustainable Coastal Development strategy. Specifically, we expect the Strategy will address the following pressing coastal issues: deteriorating coastal water quality, the destruction of coastal ecosystems and habitats, the loss of marine biodiversity, protection of traditional fisheries, maintaining coastal access, and the vulnerability of our coastal areas to climate change. There is a pressing need for clearer, integrated governance and effective planning that involves the residents of coastal communities. An effective Coastal Development Strategy must result in action on the problems facing our coast. Given the sensitivity of Nova Scotia’s coasts to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storm surges and accelerated erosion, the province should work with municipalities to reduce the vulnerability of our coastal communities to climate change. Secondly, we expect the Strategy to include federal-provincial-municipal cooperation and coordination on comprehensive land-use planning that addresses coastal issues through use of tools such as zoning, set-backs and the establishment of coastal marine protected areas within consistently applied and enforced regulations.
